Description

The scorpion avoids direct confrontation with angels and Aishim of Benjamin, preferring to fight in the silence of ritual. Symbolically, they kill their enemies without physically confronting them, using only magic.

The scorpion working his magic on the New York beach was Centaurus. He took his pocketknife and gouged out the eyes of the still-struggling girl. He had found her on the New York subway and used hypnotic magic to control her mind.

Hypnosis cannot control the mind against one's will, but magicians use demons to break through this block and invade the target's mind. These demons are acquired through high magic rituals; each ritual creates a door, a window, between oneself and a legion of demons.

She only woke up from the mind control on the beach and tried to escape, but Centaurus kept teleporting and blocking her escape. He let her escape and then blocked her path using teleportation. This drove her mad, and she began to cry and felt that death was coming.
Death gripped her grimly when Centaurus pierced her neck with his nails and began to calmly lick her blood. He didn't drain all the blood, but he still left her alive when he gouged out her eyes with his pocketknife.
